The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters

Olivia Hunt is unemployed, living alone, and working on the fourth draft of her suicide note when she gets a phone call that lets her know what real trouble is. Madeleine Hunt is her younger sister, the annoyingly happy one who married her childhood sweetheart while Olivia set out to conquer Hollywood. And Maddie is in trouble. Pulled home for the first time in years, Olivia gets a painful dose of real life as she tries to help her sister, keep her parents from running off the rails, and reconnect with the boyfriend who left without a word but might still be the love of her life. And, of course, the movie she's been trying to put in front of a camera for years heats up just as she leaves town. Racing between Hollywood, hospital rooms, and film sets in Spain, Olivia has to do the impossible at work and at home - and learns that love will let her do no less.

This study establishes groupings for a range of vernacular confessional prayers from the tenth and eleventh centuries, thereby revealing not only key divergences but the even more striking parallels in their English phrases -- phrases doubtless familiar to their intended readers or reciters which would have helped them in confessing or meditating upon their sins. Each edited text is provided with notes and there is an extensive glossary. The manuscript context of each prayer is examined in detail to consider how far this throws any light on the expected usage. Where known, the Latin original that lies behind the texts is supplied, demonstrating how closely or freely the original translator (and perhaps others intervening in the texts here printed) followed the Latin.

Poetry. "Where the light pulls back, Elizabeth Robinson's glyphic text is vividly relieved. The sudden pronoun, verbal ersatz, opposing juxtapositions describe her oddly ambiguous clarity. Rock filters, water conveys, advancing light obscures. In these deft, subtle poems meaningful associations arrange themselves. Like 'bones in a sand diff', like 'that bed whose middle is lowered by the body,' Robinson's impressions last-C.D. Wright.

"Taking her cues from folktale, legend, and fable, Elizabeth Robinson has reinvented the 'uses of enchantment.’ She shows, with a minimalist's precision and a logician's attention to linguistic morphology, how the often bleak agenda of the real capitulates to the moral restitution of the true; how our need to tell stories enjambs faith and enlightenment." --Ann Lauterbach.

Poetry. This unique collection by Elizabeth Robinson shows her at perhaps her playful best, mingling poet with poet: two Robinsons--Elizabeth and Edwin Arlington--re-define the notion of encounter, "entering the cochlea of [each other's] ear" (to paraphrase Devin Johnston's blurb). Of course these collaborations suit poetry but they particularly suit Robinson, the newer, as blurbs from Hoa Nguyen and Keith Waldrop further underscore. In Waldrop's words, "you've come upon a good book of poems."

Poetry. "This beautiful book manages to be very much of its time and also, somehow, ahead of it"--Rae Armantrout.

Poetry. "This book is continuing a tradition of Neo-Spiritualist literature in America where the poem is the means of divination. The poem is a map of a world where ghosts and unattributed thinkers and writers haunt and intrude and give signals to the world next to us. This is an occupation for all poets, the most secular to the most conceptual and the most experiential and spontaneous. If words appear in prose here in these pages, they are still the production of a New Spiritualist poet who feels the presences and wants to tell us about them."—Fanny Howe "Elizabeth Robinson's ON GHOSTS returns us to the haunted aura around words. Here, a crossing of genres—poetry, prose meditation, personal testimony—shows that language itself amounts to a gathering of ghosts. Robinson's oblique lyricism beckons us toward a twilight zone where we become 'witness to the unverifiable.' This is writing as the highest form of bewitching."—Andrew Joron

On Ghosts

Solid Objects

Poetry. "We get a seat in a booth. All the waitresses know Jack. None of them know me. As a matter of fact, all the cooks know Jack too. We sit. We gossip. We talk about poetry. I like thinking of Jack saying, 'I was reading ______' s poems and enjoying the hell out of them.' We eat. I always (always) get a short stack of blueberry pancakes and a side of bacon. Tea. Jack gets coffee, and sometimes bacon. Usually eggs. Some kind of bread. He makes a sandwich with biscuit, butter, bacon, and jelly. I like remembering him scooping butter from the pat onto a knife and then straight into his mouth. Sometimes we look at the art on the walls. Sometimes a fellow birdwatcher stops by the table to chat about birds with Jack. Sometimes I go into the Dot's Diner bathroom and wonder why it has two toilets, not in stalls, side by side. Then Jack reaches for the plastic bag and raises his eyebrows, smiles. 'Shall we write some poems?' Yes, we shall. We make up the rules for the writing of two poems and then trade the pads back and forth until each person's page is more or less full. Jack doesn't know this, but I usually take the west- facing side of the booth so that I can look out at the mountains while we write."—Elizabeth Robinson
